After merging a document into another one (or pasting it), some of the content is duplicated. The issue is a regression in R3 2018.

Currently, span elements can only have highlight color and paragraphs can have a background(shading). In MS Word it is possible to apply a background to spans. The import of such a document removes the formatting.

Page field in header (or footer) of document created with mail merge is always evaluated to 1, instead of the number of the current page.

Possible workaround (attached):

- Do mail merges one by one
- Set header/footers anew to contain PAGE fields in each document
- Set FirstPageNumber = 1 to each first section in each document
- Merge with RadDocumentMerger

The content of the table cells seems to be rendered in the correct position while the borders are drawn above the continues section break.

Importing a document containing <pre> should interpret it as paragraph with specific (preformatted) style applied.

The customers need to additionally process the elements after inserting them into the document or just change the caret position relative to the inserted element. At this point, the methods only insert elements without returning the concrete instance or copy the element passed as a parameter, if such overload is available (editor.InsertTable(table) clones the table and inserts a different instance in the document).

When the document is protected, RadRichTextBox.CommandExecuting is not raised when the user double clicks the header or footer area.

The text-decoration-line CSS property is not imported because of wrong name definition in the parsing logic of HtmlFormatProvider.

 

First Scenario: During layout of specific documents where the first section is with Continuous section break type, the layout algorithm enters in an infinite loop causing the application to hang.

Workaround: Change the section break type for the first section after the import of the document and before the layout:

Second Scenario: During the layout of specific documents where the last section is with Continuous section break type and has specific page size width and height, the layout algorithm enters in an infinite loop causing the application to hang.

Workaround 2: Slightly modify the size of the section which causes the issue after the import of the document and before the layout:

Third Scenario: During layouting of specific documents containing anchored elements, the layout algorithm enters in an infinite loop causing the application to hang. No workaround.

According to the RTF Specification, each bookmark start should have a matching bookmark end. However, when opening a document which contains bookmark start without bookmark end, MS Word treats the start position for an end as well and successfully opens the document. When such document is being imported in RadRichTextBox, an InvalidCastException is thrown.

In MS Word, the users can add a source for the mail merge operation using the Select Recipients option. In the menu, they can import a file containing the data. Expose a similar option in RadRichTextBox as well.

The bolder keyword is currently not supported. In the CSS, setting bolder means one font weight heavier than the parent element, so if the parent is with font-weight, font-weight: bolder would mean that the content should be with normal font weight. In MS Word, this value is imported as bold no matter of the parent's value.

When custom annotations are created by inheriting AnnotationRangeStart and AnnotationRangeEnd classes, and the reaction to the delete commands is customized by overriding the DeleteBehavior, BackspaceBehavior, and DeleteSelectedBehavior, the delete command doesn't work as expected in some cases.

The issue is a regression introduced with another fix, released in R2 2018.

When a new document is created and GetStatisticsInfo is called on it, a NullReferenceException is thrown.

Add support for nested track changes revisions. Currently, when a user tries to delete text added by another user, RadRichTextBox simply removes it and does not mark it as a change.

When a document containing fields and with a custom theme is exported to .docx and opened in MS Word, the theme is different.

Available in R3 2018 Official Release.

When exporting with RtfFormatProvider (including when the users copy content), an additional \par tag is added at the end of the document.

Workaround: Process the RTF after it is generated. 

Here is an example how to achieve it when copying:

this.radRichTextBox.CommandExecuted += radRichTextBox_CommandExecuted;
...
void radRichTextBox_CommandExecuted(object sender, CommandExecutedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Command is CopyCommand)
    {
        DocumentPosition end = this.radRichTextBox.Document.Selection.Ranges.Last.EndPosition;
             
        RadDocument clipboardDocument = ClipboardEx.GetDocument().ToDocument();
        RtfFormatProvider provider = new RtfFormatProvider();
        string rtfString = provider.Export(clipboardDocument);
        int indexLastParOpening = rtfString.LastIndexOf("{");
        int indexLastParClosing = rtfString.IndexOf('}', indexLastParOpening);
        string newRtf = rtfString.Remove(indexLastParOpening, indexLastParClosing - indexLastParOpening + 1);
        Clipboard.SetData("Rich Text Format", newRtf);
    }
}

The header of the first page can have only settings applied without any content. In such scenarios, RtfFormatProvider doesn't import the whole header, which can lead to a different layout of the document.

When a list is copied from one document (source) to another document (target) and the target contains custom list with different name, the paste command does not paste the list in the target.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open two instances of RadRichTexbox
2. In the first RRTB create new list style -> List1 and use it to create a list
3. In the second RRTB create a new list style -> List 2 and use it to create a list
4. Copy the list from the second RRTB and try to paste it after the list in the first RRTB

Expected: The list is pasted.
Actual: The list is not pasted, but the list style is added to the List Library.
